We might have just helped you bag another material supporter of terrorism this
week! And you'll never believe who the culprit is! We were even able to tape
record some of his own damning admissions! (That's the reason for my calls last
week to your duty attorneys and media offices.)

As you know, Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control has an ongoing investigation
into several high profile former political figures, trying to discover their
financial transactions with the terrorists in the Mujaheddin e Khalq aka "MEK".
One of the former political officials apparently being investigated for his
financial transactions and paid advocacy on behalf of MEK is former Attorney
General Michael Mukasey. Well Mukasey happened to get tapped on March 15 to
give an "ethical leadership" speech at the University of St. Thomas
Law School and some of us went to hear what he had to say. As an aside, the
overall thrust of his speech was anything but ethical. Instead he mostly defended
the Bush Administration and its lawyers for having used their talents "to
push the legal limits" of what the Executive Branch could do in its "war
on terror." (Of course there are many legal scholars who think those Bush
attorneys pushed over the legal limits.) He especially defended John
Yoo and Robert Delahunty (now a St. Thomas law professor) who working in Bush's
Office of Legal Counsel, co-wrote memos in early 2002 claiming the U.S. did
not have to follow the Geneva Conventions. Researchers have since gained evidence
through multiple interviews of returned soldiers that the major factor in U.S.
troops' having committed atrocities and abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan as well
as terrible torture of detainees was their being told they no longer had to
follow the Geneva Conventions. But Mukasey didn't seem to care much about any
abuses or torture. In fact, although he
refused to answer during his Senate Confirmation hearing whether waterboarding
was torture, he explicitly declared that waterboarding is not torture and therefore
was/is not illegal as practiced by CIA contractors.

Of course, we are well aware of Obama's instructions for you to never look
backward when it comes to the torture crimes but here's the part that could
allow you to put the handcuffs on your old boss for his new and apparently ongoing
terrorist crimes! After Mr. Mukasey completed his initial speech, he was confronted
in a rather light but savvy way by another panelist, Attorney John Lundquist,
about his (Mukasey's) paid advocacy for the Iranian terrorist group, Mujaheddin
e Khalq (MEK) which the U.S. State and Treasury Departments have long designated
as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO). Mukasey admittedbeing paid by MEK and admitted he and his friends are in a
group helping the terrorist group by advocating for their removal from the FTO
list. Mukasey later inexplicably added that he still supports the 2009 Holder
v Humanitarian Law Project Supreme Court Decision (which held that
such advice and assistance as he's admittedly providing in coordination with
a designated foreign terrorist organization falls within "material support
of terrorism" even if it's nothing but speech). Since ignorance of the
law is no defense, Mukasey's proffered explanation that MEK did not tell him
what to say, just inculpates him further, doesn't it?! He insisted that as long
as MEK did not write his speech, his acceptance of the terrorist organization's
money and his meetings with MEK members to coordinate his appearances and advocacy
are not enough to get him into trouble.

To be sure, Mukasey also made a comment, kind of going on the offense in which
he accused the Treasury of improperly targeting him and his political friends
by looking into the handsome amounts of money they have all been paid by MEK.
He claimed that the Treasury's subpoenas looking into his and other high level
former politicians' payments from MEK stemmed from the filing of their amicus
brief arguing for MEK to be removed from the terrorist organization list. A
panelist then questioned Mukasey's use of the Judiciary as somewhat hypocritical
to second guess the Executive's terrorist group designations since, throughout
his speech, Mukasey had constantly denigrated the role of the judiciary in handling
terrorism matters, repeatedly opining that the Judiciary is not equipped to
have a role in what the Executive does to combat terrorism.

Hypocrisy aside, the real smoking gun here is that Mukasey admits he was paid
handsomely by the MEK to advocate for them. (I'm sorry to say we failed to ask
him to provide the actual dollar figure, but... ) He didn't deny that his "expert
advice and assistance" to MEK was coordinated, only that the designated
terrorist group did not dictate what he said.

What's worse is that Mukasey and his MEK-paid friends scoff at the laws and
government terrorist designations they insist on applying to others. As Attorney
General, Mukasey undoubtedly ordered prosecutions of many Muslims for financial
transactions with FTOs involving far less money than he's been paid. In their
January 2011 opinion piece "MEK Is Not a Terrorist Group," Mukasey's
group discloses the perhaps bigger reason for their support of MEK than the
thousands of dollars they were each paid, claiming that MEK "has provided
valuable intelligence to the United States on Iranian nuclear plans." Could
that be their real motive? Could there be more money for Mukasey's group in
starting a new war whether based on a terrorist group's lies or not? This situation
should bring back memories of old scoundrel con-artist Ahmed Chalabi's dissident
group who, despite not being trusted by most CIA analysts, served the purpose
nicely in conjuring up false evidence of Saddam's WMD for Bush's neo-con team
to take us to war on Iraq. Could it be that Mukasey and friends want to polish
up the MEK to gin up false intelligence for a new war on Iran similar to how
James Woolsey, Richard Perle and others polished up and promoted Ahmed Chalabi's
disinfo group? Is it not true that credible news reports link the terrorist
group MEK to the recent assassinations of Iranian scientists? Are MEK terrorists
so reckless they are mistakenly even assassinating innocent Iranian electrical
engineers? So not only does the MEK have a long past history of attacking civilians
(and also killing U.S. troops) but they are currently assassinating scientists
and students? And providing false "intelligence" to gin up a new war
on Iran which, like Iraq, does not possess a nuclear bomb? So Mukasey and his
political friends are working to welcome a terrorist organization into the fold
to gin up war on Iran just as Chalabi's group helped gin up war on Iraq?

Well I can't answer all these questions from only hearing one Mukasey speech
but it seems to me there is plenty of probable cause for you to investigate.
I will keep the tape recording of the culprit's damning admissions in a secure
place and try to maintain a good chain of evidence if you ever need it. I recognize
this situation undoubtedly puts current government authorities like yourselves
in the extremely awkward position of looking into your former bosses, not only
former AG Mukasey, but also former FBI Director Louie Freeh, former NYC Mayor
Rudy Guiliani, Former Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge, former White House
Counter Terrorism Advisor Fran Townsend, former UN Ambassador John Bolton, former
Democratic Party Chair Howard Dean, etc. It's obviously quite the example of
where the Patriot Act's broadening of the "material support" definition
along with the Holder v Humanitarian Law Project's broad interpretation
can lead. (I'm on record, by the way, that the Holder v. Humanitarian Law
Project decision is wrong for just these reasons, that it impinges on freedom
of speech, but as you well know and as good ole' Janet Reno used to always say,
"the law is the law!") And don't forget, in years gone by, when the
law was applied fairly, it was applied equally to even corrupt presidents like
Nixon, and to some of their politically appointed Attorney Generals if/when
there was probable cause to believe they were involved in corrupt, unlawful
actions.

Anyway, you know what Homeland Security's public service message tells us,
"If you see something, say something!"
